risky like you might BSOD on boot up and never get back into windows. i always perform restore points in system restore before doing any of these risky maneuvers. so far i've manually updated my drivers twice and only had one BSOD but my machine booted back up just fine.

I am having the same type of Issue I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate. It installed the window VGA drivers and seems to not even see my 9400GT 1GIG card. I have tried installing with the card in then reinstalled windows without the card in and restarted put the card in and the drivers bump'd right in and hide my card? Any help?????

Thats odd mate, im running a 9400GT 1GB, and mine runs perfectly, no hiccups.

It is compatible with Windows 7, so need to ask? since your specs are very lacking.
1. what version of Win7?
2. Version in like FULL ISO (technet- MSDN)
3. Downloaded from what site?
4. Verified by MD5?
5. x86 or x64

Hi Guys.
I've got a problem with installing drivers for GeForce 9600M GT. I've installed windows 7 build 7264 x86, and after installation my display adatper is Standard VGA. This's a bit strange becouse when i have a beta 7000, and 7100 it automatically goes for windwos update and get correct drivers.
I've downloaded latest drivers from Nvidia (186.03) but it wont install with message that it cant find drivers for my hardware.
I've tried nvidia auto scannig, with no result. Also tried installing drivers manually with update driver, and uninstalling standard vga drivers in safe mode, but after restart it automatically install standard vga drivers even in safe mode...

I have MSI Gx630 Laptop.

Thanks for helping

MSI has a nice program that will find the DRIVER your mobo should be using. MSI also is touchy about drivers and signatures.
recommend you use the MSI Drivers.

It is rather annoying to try and assist the originator of a thead, when everybody else has the same problem... NO, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. you have a simular problem.
Been a Computer tech since 1983 I have never seen two exactly alike computers in my life.

Fill out your specs... also include if x86 or x64

the Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT is an attached video card on the Dell XPS One A2420. I can't understand why Dell did not provide a driver for 64 bit. All the other drivers for this machine are capable of 32 and 64 bit. Also, it looks like Dell has stopped production of this model. I don't think we will get much support from them on this issue.

Have you tried the latest notebook driver from nVidia? I have a 8600M GT and I have to get mine from there. 9600M GT and 8600M GT have very little differences between the two so try that

Yep, tried that but it won't install. When I try and install it manually, it finds the hardware but then says the driver isn't compatible with tuis version of Windows, even though nVidia's website says it is.

Solved the problem. I am now running in 64 bit with the latest Nvidia driver with no errors at all. I am using ver 195.81 beta and have also used 195.62. I edited the listdevices.txt and the NVAM.INF files. If you e-mail me at [email protected], I will send you the files. Just replace the files you have now in the Nvidia directory with these and run setup again. Running Aero with no problems. This applies to Dell XPS One A2420 only!
